DIRTY LAUNDRY (Seattle)Dirty Laundry (from Wing-It Productions in Seattle, Washington) is an improvised couples therapy play that takes a comedic look at love, lust and relationships. We take a couple from the audience and thrust them into therapy to show just how close they are to making up... or breaking up. The therapy session drives the show through flashbacks, flash-forwards, and hypothetical scenarios as we explore the crazy ups and downs of love

PUPPET THIS (Seattle)Improvaganza welcomes back Seattle's premiere puppet improv group Puppet This and their new show THE GREAT PUPPET HAPPINESS MACHINE. For puppets, being ecstatically happy is the status quo, so what will a group of puppets do when they discover that one of their own is suddenly and shockingly sad? Therapy? Philosophy? Songs about kittens?Luckily for them, a mad scientist, Professor Humbart Mysterio, has created a machine that will keep everyone happy for the rest of time or else. In this improvised show, the twisted minds behind popular Spin the Bottle act Puppet TV will ask you for your fears, bad days and tragedies and transform them into happiness any way they can even if that means singing about kittens.

HOMEWRECKERS (Honolulu)Graduates of the Fundamentals of Improv with Shannon Winpenny @ Laughtrack Theater Homewreckers have been wrecking homes on improv stages since January of 2011. An audience suggestion starts the show and an activity which inspires the team's unique opening. What ensues over the next two dozen minutes is a high energy, briskly physical, no-holds-barred exploration of relationships, ideas, and philosophies based on that suggestion and the initial stage picture. In other words, a creative (and hopefully hilarious) train-of-thought wreck!
